There's alot of talk about him saying he's retiring on his facebook. I haven't seen it since i"m at work and can't go to facebook but on the roh boards they said so and other places. I hope it's not true

I hope this isn't correct. With his charisma and skills he can go far in this business. A couple of years I spoke with someone at TNA about him and the talent told me Tornado was one of his favorite talents in indy wrestling. I would like to see him end up in TNA.

I hope this isn't true. If it is he should at least have some sort of sendoff. Chris Bosh, Super Dragon, Quicksilver, and Disco Machine were all big parts of PWG and just kinda left. I hope he at least gets to say goodbye.

If he's really hanging it up, he needs to do a Reseda farewell. After everything he's done there, from the Guerrila Warefare matches, to the MOTYC with Generico and The Young Bucks this year, I'd really love to see him go out in that building.

The more I think about it, the more I think it could be a name change/going to TNA.

This is from that State of TNA interview with Bischoff last week and this quote has really stuck with me since then.

A caller asked whether TNA would be opening a developmental territory. The caller also wanted to know how to become a pro wrestlingwriter. Bischoff said there's no developmental territory right now. He put over Brian Knobbs's school. He said there's also a group in Los Angeles that has quality talent. He said he hopes they can develop their own developmental territory, "but we're not there yet."

Damn, I really hope this is a joke or something. There isn't much to be said about Tornado that hasn't already been said, the guy is truly one of a kind. Definitely fun to see him rise up from working the PWG Merchandise booth to being a two-time PWG world champion.

Well, we all know the word "retirement" doesn't hold much water anymore (thanks to the likes of Terry Funk and Brett Favre), so let's just hope this isn't permanent if it is true.

I think he is talking about Knokx Pro, who were involved with the Hulkamania tour last November. Probably nothing to do with Tornado.

I think so too. They have Rikishi and Gangrel and a couple of other guys from the Hulkamania tour.

Also, I would never presume anyone assosicated with TNA would be smart enough to look for talent at PWG.

Damn this sucks . Tornado/Hero feud was the the main reason I got into PWG. I hope everything is alright with Tornado, and wish him the best in the future. I hope one day we see him back in the ring though.
